We all know that the holidays this year is different due to Covid-19 and the global pandemic, but as we navigate this new normal, I hope we are keeping up the holiday spirit. Typically, by this time of the year, the malls and stores would be full with shoppers trooping in to get their Christmas gifts ready, and we know how rowdy that gets. Luckily there's online shopping, a silver lining right now because get to save yourself time and hassle while still patronizing your favourite stores.
With about two weeks to go, I am sure there is probably a gift (or two) that you haven’t gotten around to getting just in time for Christmas, which is why I am here. Here is the Ultimate Manitoba Gift Guide for you, featuring 5 Canadian fashion and beauty brands that you will love and some gift ideas from each of them to inspire your next gift. I mean if you're going to shop online, it's time to support local!
